9500 Pro or GF4 Ti 4600?

[Lornxx]

Which should I keep, which should I sell? I'm not looking to make the most money, but have the best performance. I've looked at benchmarks but everything is pretty inconclusive. Which would you pick to keep? This is kind of a time sensitive subject so I appreciate anyone that can help me out. Thank you.

keep the 9500 pro...also, it's nice to have a spare card for troubleshooting.so i suggest not to get rid of both.

9500Pro. You might want to look into the softmod to 9700Pro too!

The softmod is for non pro 9500s

If you're intrested in buying a new card, you can get real good deals on a 9800 pro. I'd just stick with the 9500 pro unless you're a power gamer like me though.

Well I have a PNY ti 4600 and it allows me to play DOOM 3 at medium quality at 800x600 with all options ON @ 33fps. Amazing Graphics!! Not too bad for a 2 year old card.....

So now we already have the 7800 Ultra and the X2800XT?

I agree with this guy. If you sell em both, maybe u could afford one of the cards listed above. If you make enough, get the 9800, if not go for the $30 cheaper 5900

Look at some newer benchmarks of those cards, with more modern drivers (early reviews don't show the massive effect of ATI driver improvements). See for example, Tom's VGA III. The 9500P is the clear winner in all categories.

As for 9800P vs 9500P, I made that switch a few months back and saw 30-35% improvement in timedemo FPS in the games I play (45% improvement in 3DMark03), with no AA/AF. With 2XAA/8XAF enabled, I saw a 45-60% improvement with the 9800P.

Up to you if that's enough of a difference to justify the extra cost of the 9800P.
